These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it right.

I've never been a big fan of coconut, but these cookies are amazing! The chocolate chips really balance out the flavor.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover coconut. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookie.
